Ashley Rockwood, LPC-A

Supervised by Sara Spotswood, LPC
Supervised by Sara Spotswood, LPC
- Work best with: Children, Teens, Adults, LGBTQ+ Community
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
My style is warm, empathetic, and unhurried, focusing on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Patients can expect an inviting, warm, and collaborative conversation that allows them to share what brings them to therapy at a comfortable pace. We’ll discuss the patient’s goals, relevant background, and what they hope feel and gain while also making space for questions, concerns and next steps. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I provide affirming, trauma-informed care to LGBTQ+ patients, drawing on my personal experiences and person-centered approach to support identity, relationships, and well-being.
Many have shared that they feel genuinely heard, empathized with, and respected. Patients often describe leaving therapy emotionally grounded with a clearer sense of direction, greater self-acceptance, and renewed clarity. Patients have shared that they felt authentically seen, with no preconceived judgements, and experienced a sense of warmth, calm, and unhurried support throughout our work together.
